Online Poker Bankroll Challenge
This whole challenge was to build an exclusive poker bankroll, not use outside funds and fund my trip to Vegas this summer. So, turn $23.23 into $6000 in 110 days from start to jumping on a plane. Right in the middle of all this, there are 17 days that I will be on vacation. My online bankroll stands at $2.13. However, I've decided to make a serious attempt to qualify online for the World Series of Poker Main Event. Pokerstars has lots of interesting satellite opportunities, and the one I prefer is the Steps qualifier.
Now, this is a switch.For as long I've been playing poker, I've held my own at the home games, but been very inconsistent at the casinos. Part of the reason is that I've played most of my casino play in Minnesota, where the cash games are limit poker only. That's the only time I ever play limit poker, and I've never been a winning player in that game.
Lately my issue has been losing in home games. I'm afraid my play has become too predictable. Am I running bad? Playing too many hands? I've focused on not playing out of position. I'm really confused about why my results have changed over the past several months. I think the remedy is some time off.
Maybe I'll hone my skills online at low stakes for a while, and go back to the live game refreshed and less confused.
